Thanks for the ref - I will look it up. 

The babies we did this with were not kids with lines - they were older
bigger babies. The babies with lines and tubes got Kangaroo'ed in a chair -
unless there were no parents or other relatives available...

Being in a sling didn't mean you walked the baby all over the hospital,
usually I just paced back and forth and swayed a little in the area around
his corner so to speak. I could sometimes do it for as long as 2 hours at a
time, When it was time to feed the other babies in my assignment, I'd have
to remove the sling, put that baby down, wash up, take care of the others
and then return the first baby back to slinging if he needed to be. Since a
clean hospital bed sheet was used each time, there was no infection to
spread by multiple babies using one sling.
